Jacksonville Beach Getaway Information

This picturesque city by the sea offers miles of white sandy beaches. Nestled between Jacksonville, FL and the Atlantic Ocean, Jacksonville Beach offers big-city appeal without actually being in the thick of a major metropolitan area. Aside from the usual sunbathing, the beach offers visitors a chance to fish through chartered services. Scuba-diving expeditions and lessons can also be chartered.

Jacksonville Beach offers a variety of fun things to do off the beach too. The Adventure Landing theme park offers year-round attractions like laser tag, mini-golf and a teddy bear factory. Seasonal attractions include the Shipwreck Island Waterpark. After all that fun in the sun, catch a play or concert at Players-by-the-Sea. The studio theater offers several different productions on a weekly basis.
